Help with Triangular Living Room

3 years ago

Hi there,

We want to ask some help/ideas on how we can decorate our living room.

It looks like a triangular shape with a 135-degree corner.

How should we put our furniture so it won't look weird and too crowded? Any link/image on furniture recommendations would be nice!

Perhaps sofa on the top wall and telly one side of the balcony doors - so you have a view as well as entertainment?

I'm assuming its a decent view in that direction, + of course may need curtains or something if low sun is an issue in the winter?

Dining table needs some research - perhaps bench seat along that bottom wall and table square across rather than diagonal? Do you always used 4 chairs?

(Just thinking out loud - no offence at all if you dont like the thoughts :) )

I would place the TV on the wall, above the radiator, next to the fridge (bear with me). I would then hang some material (something sophisticated, I don't think light/floral would go with your apartment) between the TV/fridge to separate the kitchen/front room when you want to, and be pulled back when you don't. This way your sofa goes in the centre of the apartment, leaving the large space in the triangle for a table/desk. As you have a grey kitchen, you could use mustard coloured cushions/throws etc

I agree with Bespoke Interiors Redbridge UK, definitely put in full height fences, not trees. If the neighbours are problematic (sounds like they're related to mine), the fences will be a safer option than trees that shed leaves/fruit which they might take issue with. Fences also take up less room in a small garden. My garden is only 3m wide, and I have full height fences on both sides. You can paint them or whitewash them if light is an issue, though I have left mine to silver naturally (I just like the look). Get the kids involved in gardening and put raised beds in front of the fences: I am training berry plants up the fences, so they will be green and leafy once the (currently 18 inch tall) plants grow in. Sunflowers are also great to grow along fences and there are plenty of climbing or tall edible plants like sweet peas, maize and tomatoes that are easy for kids to look after (and snack on!). Be careful of getting any evergreen hedges. I have a school one side and have had to ask them to really cut back their leylandii hedge, which has been horribly neglected for years, and it's now getting close to 3.5m tall (guidelines say no more than 2m). It's expensive to cut them back if they have been neglected, so you may be setting yourself up for a big bill down the line.

Thanks so much for the responses so far! I'm attaching the photos - pls note they are wide angle, so the sharp angle actually looks like a right one. But it isn''t :) Good question re watching TV. I do sometimes, but it's not a deal breaker - I could compromise on that. I don't need a full size dining table - actually thinking to have a very narrow drop leaf one.. So generally the main thing is lounging and doing a bit of work. In terms of existing furniture, I ordered a 2m long sofa. Nothing else so far.

Climbers would be an excellent idea as they tend not to grow outwards as much as shrubs. Lovely scented climbers are Honeysuckle, Star Jasmine (evergreen), Climbing Roses and Clematis. I don’t think there is much room for underplanting, so I would stick with small perennials such as hardy Geraniums, Aubretia, Erigeron and Alchemilla mollis. Box is quite formal and will need regular trimming. Unfortunately they are also prone to Box blight which has affected some areas in the UK but not others - worth a google! You could also place something of interest at the end such as a statue/piece of art or a water feature.
